Billy was a small town lonerWho never did dreamOf ever leaving southern ArizonaOr ever hearing wedding bells ringHe never had a lot of luck with the ladiesBut he sure had a lot of good working skillsNever cared about climbing any ladderHe knew the way in a small cafe, found the will

He met Miss BonnieAnd a little bit of her was a little too muchA few movies and a few months latterThe feeling got strong enoughThey didn't own a carSo it must have been loveThat drove him uptown for a diamondThat's when he started goin?

[Chorus:]

Over the lineWorking overtimeTo give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve themBut he loves her and he just kept going overboardOver the limit to afford to give her things he knew she wanted'Cause without her where would he be?See, it's not for himShe is his only need

Ring on her finger and one on the ladderA new promotion every now and thenBonnie worked until she couldn't tie her apronThen stayed at home and had the first of two childrenAnd my, how the time did flyThe babies grew up and moved awayLeft 'em sitting on the front porch rockingAnd Billy watching Bonnie's hair turn gray

And every once in a while you could see him get upAnd he's head downtown'Cause he heard about something she wantedAnd it just had to be foundDidn't matter how simple or how muchIt was loveAnd, boy, ain't that love just somethingWhen it's strong enough to keep a man goin?(Repeat Chorus)

Over the lineWorking overtimeShe is his only needHis only needOverboardOver the limitJust for herShe is his only needHis only need
